Dreams Come True (Austin Carlile/Ben Bruce)

Chapter 16

"Hi I'm Ella Hathway. I am the lead merch-girl for Of Mice and Men." She threw a flirtatious smile at Austin, then sat down.

The next girl, with dyed red hair, stood up, "I am Jennifer Lowsly, I am the secondary merch-girl for Of Mice and Men." She winked at Alan and then sat down.

Emily shot a glance at me that screamed "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"

I shrugged and then leaned forward. "Hi everyone, I'm Randi." A large applause filled the room.

Danny then stood. "I have a short sentence to say."

I nodded in approval, "By all means."

"This lovely writer and photographer stole Austin's heart. And I am so thankful, that broken lamp needed a new bright light, and this lovely woman brought brought it to him."

I blushed deeply as the room again filled the room. Austin stood to continue the passing of the circle. "Thank you Danny. And yes, that's why I brought her. For what you guys know, I am Austin Carlile and I am the lead singer of Of Mice and Men." He grabbed my hand, raising me and kissing me passionately. We sat together, and Alan stood to say his name.

The circle ended with Phil, and everyone clapped thanking God it was over.

"No ladies and gents, our first concert is the day after tomorrow, so that means party tonight, but try to get your rest tomorrow night. You'll get a full day of touring tomorrow, we've got fancy little shindigs to entertain you all. But we are in a pub, so let us have at it!" Liam stood up and opened the double doors to the wide pub we walked through to get in here.

Phil and Tino had headed out without us. Austin grabbed my hand, "We don't have to stay here, lets go to the Eiffel Tower? You and I, and of course the other lovebirds."

I nodded, then looked at Emily, who obviously listened in. She nodded brightly and then we started to leave.

Outside we were abruptly met by two girls, unfortunately the two girls that so deeply upset Austin and Alan.

"Hello Austin." Ella stepped out of the shadows, gently touching his chest.

Austin shivered, "Ella. What are you doing here?"

Jennifer grinned, "Oh Alan I've missed you." She mimicked Ella.

Emily swatted her hand down. "Keep your hands off of him." Jennifer jumped and gasped.

I stepped closer to Austin, Alan stepped in front of Emily.

"Your hair looks fake." Jennifer spat.

"Oh the fuck it does. This is all natural bitch, I don't bleach and kill my hair." Emily spat back.

I stifled a laugh. "Whoop whoop."

"We are leaving now. If you come near us with other reasoning than business, I will have Liam send you both back." Austin seethed. "You know I will."

He grabbed my hand tighter and pulled me along, Alan and Emily followed. The girls scowled at us.
